Watson's

Apology

A Novel

Beryl Bainbridge

維多利亞時代真實凶殺案改編

2003年戴維．科恩文學獎（David Cohen Prize for Literature）得獎作家貝蘿．班布里奇又一傑作。為何結縭三十載，卻突然在禮拜後，打死自己的髮妻。班布里奇以其獨特的文筆，揉合創作與真實歷史公案，重新詮釋維多利亞時期著名的華生牧師殺妻案。有別於歷史剛硬的文獻紀載，《華》一書呈現給讀者，這樁歷史案件未曾揭露的動機、隱藏其後的情感，以及導致這樁家庭人倫慘案的瘋狂動機。

'Haunting... Recalls Hitchcock as well as Kafka.'

— The New Yorker

After nearly thirty years of marriage, a Victorian clergyman, John Selby Watson, bludgeons his wife to death one Sunday afternoon after church. In this compelling tale by award-winning novelist Beryl Bainbridge, the seemingly ordinary history of their marriage unfolds until it climaxes in a sudden brutal act and a headline-grabbing trial. As true to the documented facts of this actual case as to the workings of her singular imagination, Bainbridge artfully reveals what history withholds: the motives, feelings, and insanity that drive the Watsons to their domestic tragedy.
